do you have any live oxygenating plants such as elodea in your tank?

your welcome, was going to suggest if you had a jollyes petfood superstore near you, they could get one in for you.

this fluval chi does have a lid on the market, though not all pet stores supply them, if you have a word with a manager at ur LFS im sure you will be able to get them to get an order in from hagen, they only cost around a 5er too.

how long has it been like this?

hi yes i really did say 1600L lol, i will try get some pics togther all my fish other than the angel or juvies, so not much to see at this point, but never the less i will try and get some pics of the big tank and the 5ft tank is infact a juwel rio 400 i think? around 450l, the angel is fully...

Its 10'x 2' X 3' tank, region of 1600 litre, i also have a 5'x2'x2', 3'x 18 inches x 18 inches and a small 70l breeder tank. 2 external filters plus one internal, so i got an oscar 4 tinfoils, large angel, 1 marble sail fin plec. Any suggestions on suitable tank mates?

Hi, i think i have a pair of kribs, just certain activities that the fish in question does makes me think it may be female. Could anyone confirm that the fish is infact male. As i watch the pair they have no aggression towards one an other, i have a coconut cave i have made, upturned plant...

Hi, i have an oscar, large angel fish, 5 tinfoil barbs, and a pleco. im looking to add maybe one or two more fish to the tank. Any suggestions looking for something with a bit of colour as these fish are either brown or silver. Anyone know if there are any eels that will be compatable?

anyone on here breed frogs? if so what type, how easy are they to breed and what sort of setup would i need?

You can borrow my lake to put it in if you want ;)

ahh thats good then, the plants should survive on there own then.

ive got a juwel 438mm t8 15 watt light on a 60L tank would this be classed high or low light?

ah i see :) so how do they get the co2 they need if i do not have a co2 system set up?

yeh i thought so, so this poo and excess food will then be absorbed by the live plant roots. The same way of putting compost on your garden flowers?

ok thanks :) Also what cause ammonia in the water? is it basically fish poo?

Do plants not help to remove ammonia and other nasties?

I just done some research and the female are apparently bigger than males.

What exactly do plants do for my tank? What benifits do keeping live plants have? how many is to many?

thanks for that website, i have the short finned mollies :)

mollies reach 10cm in length are you serious? and i know that my tank needs upgrading and when ive got the cash i will do, all the fish in the tank are only babys and are happy for the mean time i have good filtration and do my weekly water change with out fail. And yeh sailfin pleco

To be honest i was thinking about getting some of them are they easy to look after?

I have recently taken up fish keeping as a hobby and know very little compared to some people on this forum. The reason for me starting this topic was for people to post helpful information and tips, absolutely anything will be appreciated. At the moment i have 2 very basic setups, a 60L tank...

just looked in my tank this morning and i see 2 baby mollies!

Im just about to order 3 rocks covered in java moss.

Ok thanks for info :) i thought they bred fast that why i just crush as soon as i see them!

The more over grown the plants the better, more places for fry to hide. is there any downsides to too many plants? Ohh and does anyone know the name of the plant in the right hand corner, i am not familiar with many names of plants.

I was aware that i wouldnt be able to leave them in just warm water. i will probably just leave the fry in with the parents and take my chances, when i get some money ill buy another filter and cycle my new tank for future fry to come. This is my tank as it stands...

Cheers Buddy!

how do i upload pics onto this forum i click insert image and it asks for a URL i go to use a link from a pic i uploaded on facebook but it doesn't like it?

Good?

Ahh ok thanks for the tip!

i feed them the tinyest pinch of flake every other day, do u mean that if my mollies are hungry enough they will eat the snails, or that the leftover food encourages snail growth?

Ive recently posted a topic about breeding mollies, today i receive a few live plants to put in with them and i have noticed this evening quite a few small white snails. Are these good or bad for my tank? At the moment every time i see one i squash it against the side of the tank and the...

thanks for the info, my live plants have just turned up. i have a small plastic tank i was thinking about using for the fry, i used to use it as a cricket keeper when i had my bearded dragon, the small plastic tank has tapered sides so i cut the lid so that it fits about half way up the tank...

So ive got a Juwel 60L setup, I have 1 male and 3 female mollies. ive got a 600L/h internal filter, heater a couple of pieces of bogwood, fine gravel as a substrate, i also have this plastic ball plant thing which allows fry to enter but keeps the parents away, im waiting on a load of real...

I always find Pets at home rubbish for fish to be honest, they never seem to know what any of there fish are. ive corrected them a few times on what they think a fish is!
